    No need to park the bus against us we have looked pretty poor and toothless up front during PSF's. We are all waiting for the announcement of a permanent striker we were promised would be announced today, god knows we need him. It will also be nice to see Belly as we didnt get chance to give him a send-off. Safe travels but hope you go back pointless of course!

    To be clear, I picked Harrogate as they were the first club that came into my head, I could have just as easily picked Tranmere, or Shrewsbury for instance, so please dont think I've had a lapse of sanity and suggest that I've taken my suitcase of life savings down to Coral to back Harrogate to get into the play-offs. I was merely using your lovely club as an example of something that probably won't happen, but given the relatively level playing field, wouldn't totally leave me aghast, if it were to.

    Hobson not making the squad again then after featuring in some of your pre-seasons I believe? We've moved on now & signed a fair few CMs but still rate him.

    He’s defo surplus here mate, especially considering Cook said in his presser this morning that we’re still looking to bring more in, and one will defo be someone who can play in the 3 behind the striker in our system now that Colclough looks to be off, which is where Hobson has played for us before.

    I like him in terms of he puts plenty of effort into it, but I have never seen the level of quality from him that’s required to get in our first team in all honesty, streets behind those 3 I have down as starting for example.

    He will definitely move on before the end of the window I’d have thought, probably an NL move.

    Expecting us to go something like this tomorrow


    Roos
    Aljofree Platt Bedeau
    Cotter Palmer Iorpenda Bennetts
    Grant Dennis Jones

    Griffiths, Ness, Gordon, Luker, Norburn, Jarvis, Traore


    Jatta suspended, Tsaroulla and Robertson still coming back from injuries but looks ok enough to get a result overall. I look forward to the meltdowns 24 hours from now.

    Angry Patto still very bullish on the prospect of more signings in his pre-match press conference

    You'll beat Newport. You fear for them this season you really do, judging by their summer business and how they were last year. I've got a County win in my first acca of the season.

    It's your natural level to be honest

    Strongly disagree. Since joining the football league, we’ve played more seasons in League One or higher than League Two and under. We can’t get more League One level tbh.

    looks a very poor squad on paper but they also scored two absolute screamers in midweek so I’d rather they didn’t do that again

    Fair enough mate. Sounds like a good pick up for a top NL side potentially then as you say!

    If Jones plays we’ve had it. Our RB had a mare v Barnet this week so expecting more of the same. Likely starting XI:
    Tzanev
    Jenkins Clarke Baker
    Thomas Antwi Smith Lloyd Davies
    Rheindorf CBR

    It's good to be back.

    The best way today could go is if we approach it like York City away in the playoff semi final, where we were expected to be second best, but left our opponents shellshocked

    I won't bother worrying about the worst way it might go

    First match of the season so could be any result. I rather expect a draw although there are some fans that will melt down if it's anything other than a good win.

    There won't be one. They've all moved up to League One to officiate Port Vale games.

    Only one available striker in the squad, not an ideal way to start the season.

    This would suggest Connor Taylor is off
